The wine\u2019s name refers to <em>balasto<\/em>, the distinctive weathered granite soil on which Garz\u00f3n\u2019s vineyards are planted. This soil is known for its excellent drainage and mineral character, ideal for providing complexity, energy, and vibrancy to this iconic wine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Produced in Garz\u00f3n, Uruguay, just 18 km from the Atlantic Ocean, Balasto 2022 is a blend of 45% Tannat, 35% Petit Verdot, and 20% Cabernet Franc. It was fermented in 80 HL concrete tulip-shaped vats and aged for 20 months in untoasted French oak casks of 25 and 50 HL. The wine was bottled unfiltered in June 2024 under the guidance of Italian consulting winemaker Alberto Antonini and winemaker Germ\u00e1n Bruzzone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Deep purple in color, this wine offers a fresh and intense nose with notes of black fruit, spices, and graphite, complemented by a subtle balsamic hint. On the palate, it is complex and mineral, with vibrant acidity and polished tannins, characteristics that reflect an authentic expression of the Garz\u00f3n terroir. It has 14% alcohol, 2.9 g\/L residual sugar, and an acidity of 5.9 g\/L.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Balasto 2022 is now available through the Bodega Garz\u00f3n online store, selected restaurants and retail outlets, as well as through its international distributors.<\/p>\n<h2>About Bodega Garz\u00f3n<\/h2>\n<p>Bodega Garz\u00f3n is Uruguay\u2019s leading wine estate, founded by Engineer Alejandro P.
